I heard the line, Be good to people, on a TV show I was watching. I was actually trying to write about something else at the time, but it went here instead. I almost want to repeat the title twice at a time, but it may make the chorus too long. For now...moving on...
UPDATE: vainhirvain created music/vocal to this. Listen here: https://fawm.org/songs/136237/
BE GOOD TO PEOPLE
I always taught you
To listen to others
Try not to interrupt
You’ve got lots to discover
I hope you wonder
And ask hard questions
Don’t ever be afraid
We all have our lessons
[ch]
And in the shadows and the shade
On the journeys that you make
Be good to people
You will falter, you will cry
You’ll say hello and goodbye
Never mind, keep on going
Keep those dreams you are holding
And be good to people
When anger bites you
And you can’t pretend
Carry yourself with grace
You’ll be a good friend
I’d give you my heart
If yours was broken
But sometimes you fly solo
On the paths you’ve chosen
[ch]
And in the shadows and the shade
On the journeys that you make
Be good to people
You will falter, you will cry
You’ll say hello and goodbye
Never mind, keep on going
Keep those dreams you are holding
And be good to people
[br]
I trust I’ve given you what you need
It’s all that I have, every part of me
Let the world see your face and
You know your spirit will leave a trace
Repeat ch

It's so refreshing to see something so beautiful and wise. Motherhood/Grandmotherhood/Mentorship are all important to me. We know what these heartfelt words mean and I think the older we get, the more we appreciate them.
I knew as soon as I saw the title that I had to open this one up and see what was in side.
